About The Awards

The Goh Chok Tong (GCT) Enable Awards, an initiative by Goh Chok Tong Enable Fund (GCTEF), was launched on 15 January 2019. The founding of the Awards was inspired by Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong, who is the Patron of GCTEF.

It aims to recognise the achievements of persons with disabilities, and to motivate those with promise and potential to go the distance with their endeavours.
